Cain & The Hidden World — Book Three of the Cain Chronicles

Every conspiracy theory about history is wrong about the details and right about the instinct.

For two thousand years, Cain has watched the world from the inside. He has served the Roman legions, buried empires, loved women whose names no chronicle records. He has told Thomas Ashworth almost everything.

Almost.

In a Seleucian palace in the last years before the carpenter, a perfumer kills a governor with a scent — and Cain follows the smell to a walled compound where a woman on a stool explains, patiently, that some men must be pruned. In a mithraeum beneath a Roman villa with the empire burning above them, fifteen men in animal masks stop worshipping a god and start hunting a document. In a Carthaginian counting-house, seven merchant families set an identical price across four cities and quietly decide which kingdoms will eat.

And in Galilee, in the year 62, a dying scribe presses two ounces of papyrus into Cain's hands and asks him to carry it without ever using it.

He has carried it ever since. It is the reason the Templars dug beneath the Temple Mount for nine years. It is the reason the woman he loved in Constantinople is dead. It is the most dangerous piece of paper in the history of the world — and Cain still will not say what it contains.

But there is something else beneath the hidden world. A person. And the three books Thomas has been so carefully editing were never only a testimony.

They were a signal.

The truth beneath the truth. The hand beneath the throne. And the one secret Cain has kept for two thousand years — the one he is finally, terrifyingly, ready to send.
